This is not a ,"yeah duh" situation. Not even for Oswalt (some one stated earlier) When you consider the shallow depth at 3B this year, you should hold on to Longoria. Ride it out and see where he takes you. You might be in for a Braun-esk ride. Sit tight and hold on.

the mets still have a lot of needs though, and cruz will make 4 million less a year than cameron. they could fill another hole with that money, but it is the mets so they would probably blow it anyways.

Who would win in a 20 game series between players who are in the Hall of Fame now against players who are not currently in the Hall of Fame (for whatever reason). We assume that all players are in their prime.
